Motorcycle specialists for over 80 years
You could say we know a thing or two about insuring motorbikes...
It all started way back in 1936 when Howson Foulger Devitt started an innovative scheme insuring motorcycles through motorcycle dealers. This meant that riders could buy their bike and ride it away that very same day, fully covered.
Howson had started his career insurance broking at Lloyd’s in London, but the Devitt family began their business journey in shipping broking and insurance, with Devitt & Moore, some 100 years earlier in 1836, jointly owned by Howson’s grandfather, Thomas Henry Devitt.
Over the years since Devitt began insuring motorbikes, many things have changed. Devitt has been bought and sold numerous times. They have been owned by household names such as Churchill and RBS, but we are now one of the leading motorcycle insurance specialists in the UK. We look after the insurance interests of over 140,000 customers and work with some of the UK’s leading underwriters and brands.
We’re proud of how far we’ve come and we hope you enjoy the service we offer.
We’ve always maintained an active role within the motorcycle industry, working with tops brands.
We’ve seen some pretty successful sponsorships over the years too, including the Crooks Suzuki bike as shown in the image, which was famously ridden by the one and only Barry Sheene. More recently we enjoyed TT winning success with Ivan Lintin, three time winner of the Lightweight TT.
We enjoy supporting top talent in the industry, but we also find it important to support grass roots projects including our flat track racing team with double Hooligan Champion Jack Bell.
